[interesting] A possible future for X games?
I know is different company and diferent engine, etc... but maybe is a good idea to make a joint venture or just purcahse the engine from this people?
Please have a look, The X series with something like this can be awesome:

If you combine the X universe and comerce system, etc... with this engine, you can charge me even 80Euro for the game, I will buy it

I have to admidt that the space stations, ships designs, etc.. for that engine sucks. The Egosoft space ships designs and stations and graphics are away much better. However, the planetary, atmospheric, technology is amazing.enrico1982 wrote:This is no better than the x univ....
O wait, holy crap! Pleease egosoft. Do as the man says!!

By what i saw, i think it'd require dynamic OOS-IS switch, which would be very complicated to achieve. That switch would depend on distance and importance of objects, so >200k it would become all OOS. But how do you do that non-stop? it actually takes a while in most computers to load a slightly crowded sector. Imagine a mini-load stop every 20 seconds of flight, while ships come in and out of IS/OOS.

Some previous discussion.
EDIT: although it's maybe not particularly useful, reading it through again...

Maybe the X-Shuttle gets re'd. The gates would still be there, but would become obsolete.

Same opinion here - ship and station designs, meh.

Hrmm. So they don't plan on actually making a game using their engine? In that case... I hope they can successfully sell it to someone who will. This is too good to go to waste.

Yeah..... is going to be difficult, how many companies are doing space sim games?Tenlar Scarflame wrote:Hrmm. So they don't plan on actually making a game using their engine? In that case... I hope they can successfully sell it to someone who will. This is too good to go to waste.
I can not really recall more than 4-5 games, and some are very old, like freespace or descent which is not even in space

That's the thing, unfortunately. Nobody (almost literally) is doing space games.
Honestly, I can't think of anyone equal in size to or bigger than Egosoft making a space game in the past few years. Ego's just about all we have left.
No pressure, guys.
